Mr. Adam said: “They are all important things, and those high-profiles are new public announcements, but in fact, they are still dwarf with some big policies that were in the manifesto last year, and today Nigel Farj recommended to increase the income tax allowance by £ 20,000, which £ 50 billion, £ 60 billion, £ 60 billion, £ 60, £ 60, £ 60 Billion, billion, £ 2 billion, £ 3 billion each.

He said that the announcements by Mr. Faraj this morning were much less than last year’s “very radical” manifesto, which was published by the Reform UK for the general election.
“As it stands, I don’t think they really determine how they would pay for such large GiveAways,” Mr. Adam said. “Of course, they don’t have to do so yet, we are not yet in a general election. But at some point, if they are going to be a government party, they have to add those numbers.”

“We adopt a new approach to everything. I think what I have done today is to guess the direction of policy, priorities, which we think that we think, we think it is cost and how we think we are going to pay for it.
“I don’t think anyone at this stage, with a general election a few years away, can clearly do more than this. And I believe what I presented today is reliable.”
Labor Attacking Mr. Faraj’s “fantasy promises” and compared the reform leader Liz trussWarning that it would destroy the finance of families across Britain.
Labor Chair Ellie Reeves said: “There is no need to tell families to tell what the consequences of this nonsense. They live through high mortgage, high fare, high prices and high bills every month, imposed on them by the previous government.”
He insisted that the Labor was reaching the government, warning that “all reforms offer are the return of the chaos of the truss”.
